Sometimes, stubborn fat and loose skin just won’t go away with diet and exercise. Even people who eat well and stay active can have trouble spots, like the lower belly, inner thighs, or under the chin. Surgery may seem too extreme, but ignoring the problem can be frustrating.
This is where Exilis Treatment can help. At OC Cosmetic And Vein Center, many people choose this treatment because it offers real results without surgery, downtime, or the risks of invasive procedures. But what is Exilis, and how does it work? Here’s a look at the science, the process, and what sets this treatment apart from others.
How Exilis Uses Radiofrequency to Reshape and Tighten
Exilis is a non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and ultrasound technology to address two main concerns: loose skin and small pockets of fat. The device sends controlled heat deep into the skin, which helps tighten tissue and break down fat cells naturally.
During treatment, you’ll feel gentle warmth as the energy reaches the deeper layers of your skin, right where collagen lives and supports firmness. This heat does two things: it makes existing collagen fibers contract for an immediate tightening effect, and it tells your body to make new collagen over time. As a result, your skin’s texture and firmness keep improving for months after treatment.
The energy also reaches the fat layer under your skin. The heat causes fat cells to break down through a process called apoptosis, which means the cells self-destruct. Your body then naturally removes these fat cells over the next few weeks.
Radiofrequency skin tightening stands out because of its precision. The Exilis device continuously monitors your skin temperature and adjusts energy levels to keep the treatment safe and comfortable. This way, the heat stays focused where it’s needed, with no guesswork.
Why People Choose Exilis Skin Tightening and Body Contouring
The appeal of Exilis skin tightening and Exilis body contouring comes from its balance of comfort, results, and convenience. The treatment fits into busy schedules and does not require recovery time.
Some of the most appreciated benefits include:
- No downtime, you can go bact to normal activities right away
- Non-surgical fat reduction with no incisions or injections
- Comfortable sessions with built in cooling for skin protection
- Gradual improvement that looks natural
- Ability to treat both skin laxity and small fat deposits
For facial concerns, Exilis face treatment can help soften fine lines and improve firmness, especially around the jawline and lower face. Many patients also ask about Exilis for double chin concerns, since the area responds well to controlled heating and tightening.
For the body, common treatment areas are the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips. The goal isn’t major weight loss, but rather to refine and smooth your shape.
Who Makes a Good Candidate for Exilis Treatment?
Exilis is best for people with mild to moderate loose skin and small areas of stubborn fat. It’s not a weight loss treatment and won’t replace a tummy tuck or facelift for those with a lot of sagging. But for the right person, it can make a real difference.
Ideal candidates often fall into a few categories:
- People in their 30s to 50s who are starting to see early signs of aging like loose skin on the neck, mild jowls, or softening around the jawline
- Anyone with stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise, like love handles, inner thighs, or upper arms
- Individuals who want to prevent more severe sagging by maintaining skin firmness proactively
- Those who prefer a gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic, immediate changes
- Anyone looking to avoid surgery, needles, or lengthy recovery periods
Skin elasticity is important. People whose skin bounces back well usually see better results because their skin responds more to collagen stimulation. Younger patients often notice faster, more visible changes, while those with less elastic skin may see smaller improvements.
Age isn’t the only factor. Some people in their 60s or older still have good skin quality and get great results, while some younger people may need stronger treatments if their skin has lost elasticity.
A consultation at OC Cosmetic And Vein Center helps determine if Exilis in Brea, CA is the right fit. The provider will assess skin quality, discuss realistic expectations, and create a treatment plan based on specific concerns and goals.
What Happens During and After Treatment
Understanding what to expect before, during, and after treatment can help you feel more confident and prepared.
Before treatment
You’ll meet with a provider who will review your medical history and look at the area you want treated. They may take photos or measurements to track your progress. Most people don’t need to do much to prepare and can fit sessions into their regular routine.
During the session
An Exilis session usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area. A cooling gel is applied to protect your skin. You’ll feel warmth as the device moves over the area, much like a hot stone massage. Most people find the treatment comfortable.
After treatment
There’s no downtime to plan around. You may see a little redness or feel warmth in the area, but it fades quickly. Most people head right back to work, the gym, or whatever they have planned that day.
Results and timeline
Some people see slight tightening after a few sessions. More noticeable results usually show up over several weeks as your body makes more collagen.
Most people complete a series of 4 to 6 sessions, scheduled a few weeks apart. Improvements continue to build over the following months, and results can last up to two years based on skin quality and everyday habits.
